A shrew specimen which has not been recorded in Hubei Province before was collected Xingshan county, Hubei on December 2016. Morphologically it was grey and brown, with a head and body length of 75.00 mm, a relatively long tail (82.00 mm) and tiny eyes. Its cranium was flat and fairly solid and its teeth tips had light reddish-brown spots. Its species identity was established phylogenetically, based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence, and combined with the homologous sequences of six other Chodsigoa species obtained from NCBI database. These individuals clustered with C. hoffmanni and combined into a monophyletic clade in the phylogenetic tree, with a closer genetic distance to C. hoffmanni than to any other species. On the basis of this morphological and phylogenetic evidence, this specimen was confirmed as a Hoffmann’s long-tailed shrew (C. hoffmanni). This species was also recorded formerly in Yunnan province, China and Vietnam. Our finding extended the previously known geographical range of this shrew species.
